This is a 'Motion In Limine" filed by McCabe's office last week with regard to
my trial on battery charges scheduled for May 22, 2000 in Clearwater. A
hearing on this motion is scheduled for Friday May 12, 2000 at 2:00pm at the
Criminal Justice Center, Pinellas County Florida before Judge Robert J.
Morris.

It should be pointed out that McCabe is the same Florida State Attorney that
received a recommendation from the Clearwater Police Department to try
Scientology on MURDER charges. Instead, McCabe took 2 years before bringing
the 2 minor criminal charges against Scientology in the death of Lisa
McPherson.

Why is it that McCabe comes down on Scientology's side so consistently?

Also, still no prosecution by McCabe in the HAMMER attack on Mark Bunker.
